On June 23, 2022, Plaintiff Lindsayca USA, Inc.'s Motion for Default Judgment (Dkt. 38) was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew M. Edison under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). See Dkt. 39. Judge Edison filed a Memorandum and Recommendation on August 22, 2022, recommending the motion be GRANTED. See Dkt. 42. No objections have been filed to the Memorandum and Recommendation. Accordingly, the Court reviews the Memorandum and Recommendation for plain error on the face of the record. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3).
Based on the pleadings, the record, and the applicable law, the Court finds that there is no plain error apparent from the face of the record. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED that:
(1) Judge Edison's Memorandum and Recommendation (Dkt. 42) is APPROVED and ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court; and
(2) Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment (Dkt. 38) is GRANTED. As a result, the Clerk of Court shall first enter a default against Petroleos de Venezuela,
S.A. and Bariven, S.A. After that is done, I will enter a final judgment in favor of Lindsayca USA, Inc. and against Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. and Bariven, S.A., jointly and severally, in the amount of $7,794,454.03. Postjudgment interest will accrue at the statutory rate on the date judgment is entered.
